Early life
India has come a long way ahead of state of 1930s or 40s In 30s, people in state of unemployment & poverty used to spend their spare time in drinking, even if they had no money The result was families destroyed due to head of the family being indulged in drinking habit Violence caused by drinking problem was a common thing at that time Thats why, Gandhiji had to address nation about drinking practice

After Independence
After independence, India had to abolish selling of liquor But no, India is still generating revenues from liquor
Now, thing is whether drinking liquor is actually bad habit, or it was the situation which demanded Gandhiji to be against liquor
As Gandhiji is our idol, our nation should reflect to follow his principles

Ban in Gujarat
Gujarat is only state in India where complete prohibition on sale of liquor is enforced Hotel & tourism industries, no state government has dared change the law Because of association with Gandhi & huge followers involved
Eminent Gandhian, Chunibhai Vaidya, says : "Women feel safer because no one can dare to create a scene in the open after getting drunk in Gujarat" "The government should work towards curbing corruption in police and strengthening prohibition"
